Mean Well Launches Slim Type DIN Rail Switching Power Supply

March 26, 2008 by Jeff Shepard

Mean Well launched a new slim type DIN rail switching power supply – the MDR-10 series – for low wattage DIN rail applications. These 10W Class I models are enclosed with fully isolated plastic case to prevent users from hazardous shock.

Featuring up to 85% efficiency, this series can be cooled by free air convection up to 70°C, which is said to significantly increase the reliability and lifetime of the power supply. Another important feature of MDR-10 is its low no load power consumption (<0.75W). The company claims that this characteristic can significantly expand the application of MDR-10 beyond just heavy industrial field, but can also be implied to datacom or IT applications that require green power to save the energy and to meet the anticipated government laws in the near future.

Short circuit protection, overload protection (hiccup type), over voltage protection, and the DC OK signal for monitoring the status of PSU are standard functions for the MDR-10 series. Typical applications include factory automation, process control, signal sensor, electro-mechanical industry, datacom, and IT. The product also has a universal ac input/full range; can be installed on DIN rail TS-35/7.5 or 15; is NEC Class 2 compliant; has an LED indicator for power on; a dimension of 22.5 x 90 x 100mm; and is certificated to UL/CUL/TUV/CE/CB.
